While some friendly House calls are rolling into WEEI to defend their friend, season ticket holders are also calling in with damaging tales regarding the seven-ticket season ticket holder and former Curry College football coach's trouble making, fight picking, and excessive drinking in the seven seats he holds tickets for.
House told girlfriend he was "going for the ball." But his friend who "spoke to Chris this morning" tells WEEI's Dennis & Callahan that House told him he was "doing the windmill" to wave the runners around.

Conversely, a switch in the House is a sufficient, but not necessary, condition for a switch in the Senate.
Thus, historically speaking, three scenarios are possible: both House and Senate stay the same, the Senate alone changes, or both the House and the Senate change.
